CUENTA

Myke Towers' song 'CUENTA' is a powerful narrative about his rise from obscurity to fame and wealth. The lyrics reflect on how his life has transformed, often without him even realizing it. The repeated line 'Las cosa' cambiaron, no me di ni cuenta' (Things changed, I didn't even notice) underscores the rapid and almost surreal nature of his success. This theme is further emphasized by the contrast between his past financial struggles and his current prosperity, highlighted by the lines 'Ante' yo tenía la cuenta en cero' (Before, I had zero in my account) and 'Ahora hay un par de cero' en la cuenta' (Now there are a couple of zeros in the account).

The song also delves into the challenges and criticisms Towers faced on his journey. He mentions how people doubted him, with lines like 'La Ms. me dijo que iba a ser un cero a la izquierda' (Ms. told me I was going to be a zero to the left), only for him to prove them wrong as he climbed the ranks in the music industry. This narrative of overcoming adversity is a common theme in hip-hop and reggaeton, genres known for their roots in marginalized communities and their focus on personal and social struggles.

Additionally, 'CUENTA' touches on the superficiality and materialism that often accompany fame. Towers talks about his newfound wealth and the luxuries it brings, such as expensive cars and diamond jewelry. However, he also hints at the emptiness of these pursuits, suggesting that true success is about more than just money and material possessions. This duality adds depth to the song, making it not just a celebration of success but also a reflection on its true meaning and cost.
